A terminal-equipped wire is provided with a wire including a conductor, a terminal to be connected to the conductor, and a shell to be mounted on the terminal. The terminal includes a grip portion for sandwiching the conductor. The shell includes a pressing portion for pressing at least a part of the grip portion toward the conductor. The grip portion has a Sn—Ni alloy layer. The Sn—Ni alloy layer includes locally projecting protrusions. The protrusions bite into the conductor.

A conductive connecting member includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a braided member for electrically connecting the first and second terminals. The braided member is a member formed by braiding a plurality of metal stands each other. The braided member includes a first fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the first terminal, a second fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the second terminal and an intermediate portion serving as a part of the braided member between the first and second fixing portions. The intermediate portion retains its own shape in a natural state where no external force is applied and is deformed to allow a relative movement of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal when an external force for relatively changing a position of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal is applied.

A connector is provided with a female housing into which a first conductor and a second conductor are insertable, a movable conductive member accommodated in the female housing and electrically contactable with the first conductor and the second conductor, a fixed conductive member electrically contactable with the first conductor and the second conductor, and a pressing member made of a resilient insulating material and accommodated in the female housing. The pressing member applies a pressing force in a contact direction to the movable conductive member, the fixed conductive member, the first conductor and the second conductor. The female housing is formed with positioning portions for positioning the first conductor and the second conductor in a width direction orthogonal to both axial directions of the first conductor and the second conductor and a pressing direction of the pressing member.

A conductor terminal with an insulating material housing and a spring-force terminal connection. The spring-force terminal connection has a contact body which is shaped out of a sheet element and has a base portion, lateral wall portions that protrude from the base portion and are mutually spaced, and solder connection contact tongues. The base portion together with the lateral wall portions forms a conductor receiving channel for receiving an electric conductor, and leaf spring tongues protrude from the lateral wall portions so as to face one another, each leaf spring tongue has a clamping edge for clamping an electric conductor received in the conductor receiving channel. The insulating material housing has a conductor insertion opening which leads to the conductor receiving channel on the front face.

A connector includes a housing provided with an accommodating cavity and a first opening communicating with the accommodating cavity; a circuit board disposed in the accommodating cavity and provided with a first signal connection point; a connection head disposed on the housing and including a second signal connection point for external device connection; and a switch disposed in the first opening, being respectively connected to the first signal connection point and the second signal connection point. The switch is used for controlling the connection or disconnection between the first signal connection point and the second signal connection point. In the above-mentioned manner, the connector and a heavy load may be disconnected by the switch when the connector is pulled out, so that risks of instant ignition and short circuit caused by the connector pulled out may be avoided, and safety accidents may be reduced.
